    If only I had the money to go. If there was one here in Oz every year, I would travel to wherever it is. But that's coz it won't cost as much as it would to travel over to the US

    There are cheaper room rates currently available on the hotel's website, but they will charge a one night fee for cancellations.

    Are the rooms at the convention rate usually 2-bed rooms?

    If I remember correctly it's either one or two bed rooms, shouldn't matter. Last year I opted for one king size. That bed was bigger than my unit.

    I think sharing a room (to save costs) might go better with two beds.

    To answer Paulbot's Q - hotels usually offer the option of one or two beds, but it can sometimes depend on what block of rooms have been allocated to the 'discounted' rate.
    I wasn't asked at the reservation what bed choice I wanted, so I'll have to ask about it when I ring back later.

    As Paulbot noted, if you are comfortable sharing with someone else (that you trust), get a room with 2 beds, just in case. I think they are 2 doubles, but even 2 singles would do me - very little sleeping gets done during the convention, and when you get a few hours, you're too tired to care what sort of bed you're standing on.

    I might get a hotel room this time and go for the 3 days, plus enter a certain bot in the customs contest
    It's too early to confirm anything so consider me a 'maybe'.

    I just tried to book via the website, but it told me it was all full.

    Not that I can afford to go. Again..
